*Down at Farmer Yumi's, the pups were busy practicing some techniques. Not farming ones, but rather their martial arts ones. The six pups were in karate robes to match their usual suits colors and headband with a pawprint in the center except Balloona X and Formula. Six of the pups are practicing their skills while the two are just watching them* 


Formula: Man... aren't they skilled at this? 


Balloona X: Even after so long... heard about the time they had to help out retrieve Sensei Yumi's scroll. 


Formula: Really? 


Balloona X: Yea, it was before I joined the team 


Formula: That explains it. 


Yumi: Hey you two, why don't you join us for a few lessons? 


Balloona X: Both of us? Are you sure? Everyone else is so... advanced with this. 


Formula: We're rookies... 


Yumi: Still, you two could always learn things, especially at any level. 


Formula: Ok but don't we need these outfits like the six have? 


Yumi: You don't need an outfit to practice this stuff. It makes you look more professional for it, but you both can still do a few practicing bits. 


Balloona X: Even when one of us is a big bloated balloon abit... 


Formula: And one who has MPD? 


Yumi: I'm going to tell you two something. No matter who you are, what you look like, or even how you act or behave, you have to learn to take those disadvantages and turn them into your greatest strengths for this. 


Formula: I guess you're right mate. 


Balloona X: Alright Yumi, we'll join you seven 


Yumi: Splendid. Hop on in with the group then you two. *As she went back over, the two pups looked at each other nervously before joining. Balloona X went in between Rocky and Marshall, while Formula stayed more on a father side near Chase.* 


Chase: Glad to see you two join up with us. 


Formula: We're always looking for something to do, especially you-know-who... *His head twitched a bit, the collar tag of his changing to that flag.* 


Drift: Pardon him, you know how he is, Mr. Serious all the time. 


Balloona X: Drift, focus please... 


Drift: I can't help it man. *He seemed to be doing his own thing until freezing up, the tag changing to the screwdrivers.* 


Formula: I'll be back in the drivers seat, thank you. *He readjusted himself to keep in line with the others.* 


Zuma: Those two dudes really march to the beat of their own drum. 


Skye: Yeah... two different ones at that. *Then Yumi do a fake cough at the pups* 


Formula: Oh uh... sorry Mrs. Yumi! 


Yumi: Now... we'll be doing our first lesson with the new recruits. 


Marshall: A few warmup stretches, right? 


Yumi: Exactly. Let's see how it goes. *The eight pups followed Yumi's moves, but Balloona X had a bit of trouble due to her body occasionally bouncing against the two.* 


Balloona X: Oops, sorry boys. 


Marshall: It's fine. *While Formula was more stable, his loss of control to Drift's takeovers made him lose his focus and form constantly.* 


Chase: Yikes... that is not a pretty thing... 


Formula: Sorry, it's hard to stay control Drift keeps trying to take control instead 


Balloona X: Hmmm... I got a idea, Mrs. Yumi... mind if I move next to Formula, so I keep my eyes on him? 


Yumi: If it'll keep him and his gopher of another personality at bay, please. 


Balloona X: Thank you *she move right between Formula and Chase. Formula cleared his throat, blushing a bit while trying to look forward and stay focused.* 


Chase: Well, I hope this works. 


*The team continued doing their routines, and when it came for doing a bit of a handstand for a balancing bit, most of them seemed to nail it, with Formula only balancing on his bionic paw. When Balloona X tried, she just rolled a bit and ended up knocking Formula down and on his back.* 


Balloona X: Formula, you ok? 


Formula: I'm fine, lucky your body is soft *His head twitched, the flag sign coming back.* 


Drift: Man, that was fun though. Felt good to feel like a bowling pin. *Yumi fake coughed... again* 


Drift: What? *He got up, spinning back before his head twitched again and those screwdrivers returning with a very agitated voice.* 


Formula: Y'know what? I humbly apologize on our behalf, I'm stepping out! *He walked off, looking visibly upset with the others watching.* 


Rubble: I've never seen him be that upset before... 


Balloona X: Uh Mrs. Yumi, mind if I be excused so I can talk to him? 


Yumi: Please go talk to him. We'll be training a bit more. 


*The collie nodded, chasing after the labrahuahua, who had some frustrated tears in his eyes forming a bit.* 


Balloona X: Formula? Or Drift? Are you... two... are ok? 


Formula: No, I'm not! I messed up, I know. I feel like I just can't do much right when I have Drift popping up because he's bored and I'm not doing anything fun. *He leaned against the wall, whining softly with his ears lowering.* 


Balloona X: Did you even try to talk to him as you can 


Formula: I tried, but he doesn't listen... *He just looked at the ground, feeling fully deflated at what happened.* I just feel I embarrassed myself fully in front of the team and Sensei Yumi... 


Balloona X: You just need time to get used to this like I did before. I have the same feeling like you before when I did join the team 


Formula: But just him popping up so much... I feel like I could just explode with how often it annoys me! 


He groaned, his small belly looking slightly swollen. 


Balloona X: Uh... you may want to take it easy. *She gently nuzzled his head, his mood calming down as his stomach deflated.* 


Formula: Thanks mate... 


Balloona X: Why do you think I asked Yumi that I could be moved next to you? So I can help you to stay in control 


Formula: I know, I know... I just need to stay focused a bit more. 


Balloona X: Just do it for me, Formula... *she lick his cheek. His ears perked up instantly with his mood changing.* 


Formula: I'll give it my best shot, sheila! 


Balloona X: Let's get back inside, the others are waiting for us 


Formula: Right away! *He ran off, seeming to have his mojo back.* 


Balloona X: Man, those licks to him are like treats to Rubble or something. Maybe even batteries, cause he just springs back on a whim. *She rejoined the group as well after a bit.* 


Skye: Man, you got him motivated real quick. How do you do it? 


Balloona X: I wish I could explain it, though I have my method to keep him focused. 


Skye: Ok then, keep up the work *Balloona X nodded, going between Chase and Formula again as they resumed their training.* 


Yumi: Welcome back Formula and Balloona X, ready to start training again? 


Balloona X: Yes. 


Formula: Ready! 


Yumi: Whoa... someone's got a fire in them now. 


Balloona X: Thanks to me, Mrs. Yumi 


Yumi: Well, you stick to him like glue then and keep him focused. 


Balloona X: I will 


Yumi: Good. Now, let's get back to training. Now that we're mostly warmed up from the stretching, we have one more muscle to stretch; the lungs. 


Chase: Ah, the deep breathing ones. Makes sense. 


Yumi: Obviously an important bit is making sure you have that extra air, but it can also help increase your strength at points with movements. Ok everypup, just breathe in the air then breathe out the air, so you can keep your lungs all clear out 


All 8: Right! 


Yumi: Alright, deep inhale... *All eight pups inhaled deeply on command. And exhale... They all followed.* Excellent. 


Balloona X: A bit easy honestly, hehehe. Right Form? 


Formula: For you... *He hadn't yet told or shown Yumi his expansion powers and he wasn't looking for that extra level of embarrassment to be added onto the one from earlier.* 


Balloona X: Just do your best, and if you mess up, I'll mess up with you since we are rookie partners *He couldn't help but have a minor blush at that, peering over his right shoulder to see the spirit of Drift taunting his little crush, but he simply just brought his focus back.* 


Yumi: Inhale again... 


Balloona X: But breathe with me. You know... stay synchronized with me 


Yumi: I appreciate the pointers you're giving Balloona X, but let's stay focued here please. 


Balloona X: Right, sorry. *The eight pups inhaled once more.* 


Yumi: Exhale again. *They followed nicely, smiling a bit.* Alright, one more time and we should be good. Now, breathe in... *The eight began inhaling once more, but before Yumi could say exhale, she noticed her cow of Bettina wandering around, and got up to wrangle her. The usual six on the team noticed, exhaling the air out, but Formula and Balloona X didn't stop.* 


Chase: Uh... guys? 


Skye: Hey guys, you can stop inhaling now. *but they didn't listen since only Yumi give the order* 


Rocky: Uh... guys, you may want to stop now, seriously. 


Zuma: I think these dudes are only listening to Yumi's call... and we all know what happens with these deep inhales from them. *The six could already see the pups bellies beginning to expand.* 


Rubble: Someone go get her and quick! 


Chase: I’ll go get her! *He ran off as the other five just stepped back to provide some extra space and watch. He started to look for Yumi* Mrs. Yumi?! We need you! 


Yumi: What’s wrong Chase? I have to get Bettina back into her pen. 


Chase: I get that, but Balloona X and Formula might be... overdoing their routine a bit. 


Yumi: Balloona X I could see a bit, but how can Formula be? He’s not like her from what he told me earlier. 


Chase: I'll explain it abit later but they need you, I'll handle Bettina myself 


Yumi: Alright then. *While the Shepherd left to handle the cow, Yumi went back to the group.* Alright guys, what’s the problem here? *The five pointed up as she looked. She looked up, seeing the paws to the two pups as she saw each of them at least being half the size of the barn and still inhaling.* 


Yumi: Ah! Exhale guys, exhale! *the two pups exhale abit of air out and stopped bloated up* 


Marshall: Whoa... those pups really take the inhaling to a level we can’t reach... 


Yumi: This is going to be an interesting session, but first... *She got around the two, looking at Formula’s face.* Anything you forgot to mention? 


Formula: *he blushes* Yea... I have the same ability like Balloona X too... hehehehe 


Yumi: And you said you were fine? 


Formula: I uh... was kind of... 


Balloona X: Formula’s always embarrassed swelling up around other people while Drift isn’t. I also did tell him that if he messed up, I will as well so he doesn’t feel as bad. Since we are both rookies, it's fair we do it together 


Yumi: Well... I can’t be too mad at that, but Formula... you have to be honest with this stuff. Do you understand? 


Formula: Yes ma'am... 


Yumi: I suggest you two deflate back down or we have to use you two as yoga balls instead 


Balloona X: Not a bad trade honestly, hehehe... *She blushed a bit at that thought, but her and Formula deflated back down.* 


Rubble: You guys practically have your own art; Blimp-fu. 


Balloona X: More like Blimpup-Fu to us 


Formula: Hehehehe 


Chase: Rarely see Formula act so... 


Balloona X: Giddy? I think my little cheek and nose licks click something in him. 


Yumi: I see... anyway, we’ll move onto the reflexes. 


Balloona X: Reflexes? Oh boy... 


Yumi: Let's begin... *The eight lined up, ready to take down a series of targets when each lit up. All six easily had their reflexes in peak condition. When Balloona X went, her paws had a bit of trouble hitting before either her chest or belly hit them. Formula seemed to do well on one side, but was very quick on his right side.* Very good you two, abit weird using your body instead paws, Balloona X. And you're very quick on your right paw too, Formula 


Balloona X: I can’t help it though, it’s how I’m constructed. 


Formula: Be glad yours is naturally built though mate. 


Rocky: He’s practically part cyborg with that paw as well. 


Yumi: Anyway, next training is Agility. Do your best on that, you two 


*The two nodded, joining back up with the main six, going through a minor obstacle course with walls, posts, and other items and such. Though most of them were almost done.* 


Skye: This is usually where I’ve got an edge you two. I usually set the record pretty low and quick, good luck you two! *As she set off, the flag tag reappeared as Drift’s eyes shifted a bit.* 


Drift: A record pretty low huh? Sounds like a challenge... 


Balloona X: Drift, this is not a challenge, it's a training course. I did promise both you and Formula that I'm keeping my eyes on you two 


Drift: I can handle it, don’t worry about it. 


Balloona X: Ok then, let's do it then... *He nodded, letting her go first. While Balloona X struggled with getting through some stuff, she bounced over or rolled around the obstacles, reaching the other side pretty quickly. Drift smiled, sliding into the course and using both his expansionary powers and his usual quickness to get through about as quick.* 


Skye: Well... those were pretty quick. 


Balloona X and Drift: Hehehehe you can say that again... 


Yumi: Well, I’m impressed... you both beat Skye’s time by two seconds and then four seconds respectfully. Formula, where’s that energy from? 


Drift: Huh? 


Balloona X: Hang on, I can get Formula back out here. 


Yumi: How? 


Balloona X: Just watch... *Yumi looked a bit confused as to what she meant.* Formy, come back out please. *She smiled, licking his nose as she backed up.* 


Yumi: Huh? 


Drift: I... uh... *he blushes* 


Balloona X: C'mon... *She came back in and did one more for good measure.* With how he changes, it's varied. Sometimes he swells, others he twitches, and sometimes he spins. It's kind of adorable on the options though... 


Yumi: Which is it most likely this time? 


Balloona X: No clue honestly. It's random every time, but the twitch and expansion are the most likely options for him. 


Yumi: I see... *The two watched the labrahuahua stand there, pupils dilated and a minor eye twitch.* 


Balloona X: Three... two... one... 


*There was a slight hiss coming from him as she giggled a bit, watching him inflate once again. He reached the size of one of the pup's vehicles, but his limbs were fully pulled in, leaving just the pads of his paws, his tan nose, and the tip of his tail sticking out.* 


Yumi: Oh my... is he alright? 


Balloona X: Oh yeah, he does this a lot, and the result's adorable. Just give him a few seconds then he will switch personalities again *She walked over, gently patting his chest twice before looking into the divot where his head was, seeing the screwdriver tag. He blinked twice as she pressed his nose, causing him to deflate like a spinning ball a bit. After he was done, she giggled and helped him up.* Sorry for that Formy, but that method's the cutest. 


Formula: Hehehehe it's ok 


Balloona X: I do like it when you laugh, it's cute as well. *She gently licked his cheek as she heard Yumi fake cough.* Right, sorry. We should do our last test. 


Yumi: Yep, this one will be the more difficult one 


Formula: What is it? Stand on a post with just our hind legs? 


Yumi: No. You have to break a thick board of wood. 


Balloona X: *she looked at Formula as he nodded* We're ready for it 


Yumi: Alright... *She brought out a few boards of wood, holding each one up as the other pups went first. The first six each had easily cleaved it in half or mostly in half.* Alright Balloona X, you're up. 


Yumi: Uh... sure. I guess I can test you differently, but since Formula can do both, he'll have to do both tests. Is that fine with you two? 


Balloona X: Ok, here go *she inhale some air causing her to bloated up to big ball size* Now I need to focus abit on this... 


Formula: Focus a bit? On what exactly? *He looked a bit confused, until he noticed some of the air leaving her front half and the rest staying in her waist area.* What the? 


Balloona X: Something wrong Formy? 


Formula: *He blushes, making his face red* Uh... no... 


Balloona X: You sure? You look a little red... running a fever? 


Formula: I'm... I'm alright. *He decided to step back a bit to allow her some better room.* 


Yumi: Well um... be glad I have some bigger boards. *She went over to get some much bigger sheets of wood, setting it up and stepping back.* Alright, it's ready. 


Balloona X: Ok then, here goes nothing! *She managed to get some speed, flipped off her front paws and landed rear first on the wood sheet, breaking it to pieces.* That's how you do it! 


Yumi: Well... impressive. *She turned to look at Formula.* Looks like you'll be doing the same thing there. 


Formula: Wai- what? 


Balloona X: Come on, Formula. I know you can do it *His red face looked a bit unsure on that.* 


Formula: Maybe I'll just do the regular board break alone... I can maybe acquire the Blimpup-Fu thing another day. 


Balloona X: *sigh* I was hoping you would say that *She walked over to him as her rump rocked and bounced back and forth a bit with each step* 


Formula: Uh... Loony? I'm fine honestly... No need for me to do that just yet... 


Balloona X: C'mon, for me... please? You can do your board kick now, but please do the test for me? *She gave his cheek a lick before doing the classic pup eyes.* Please? 


Formula: *he softly sighed than he smiled with a blush* Alright then, I'll do it for you 


Balloona X: Yay! Remember, this exact size to help you break the bigger board. 


Formula: I got it... *He focused on the smaller board first held by Yumi, easily breaking it with a slight spin kick.* There, that's done. 


Balloona X: Now the bigger one, Formy. Just do your best now *He nodded, focusing in to become the same size ball shape she did, but didn't change after that.* Hmm... never did it before? 


Formula: No... 


Balloona X: Try to focus on the right shape for your body to be in, like... think of yourself as a pear and focus on it for your body 


Formula: I'll try to... *He closed his eyes, muttering softly to himself.* Pear, pear, pear... *Slowly, his body began morphing from being a black ball to being more like a pear shape. He looked behind him and see his rump is big now* It worked *He could also see Balloona X blushing a bit* 


Formula: Uh... are you alright though? 


Balloona X: Hehehe... I'm fine 


Formula: Positive? *He looked over, seeing a few of the others with shocked expressions.* 


Rocky: That was... unexpected a bit. 


Formula: Really? 


Zuma: Yeah dude. You kind of just... 


Skye: I think it's a pretty neat trick myself, hehehe. 


Formula: Oh, thanks hehe... *then Yumi fake coughed at Formula* Right, sorry. *He did a similar move that Balloona X did, breaking the sheet with his backside.* 


Balloona X: Alright Formula! You did it! 


Formula: Yeah, I guess I did... 


Balloona X: I knew you would do it, Formula Bottom *she bump her rump to his* 


Formula: T-That my new nickname like this? 


Balloona X: Only when you have a big bottom like that 


Formula: Crazy girl you are... *he bump his rump back to her* 


Yumi: Well then, looks like you pups managed to pass those tests. 


Balloona X: Alright! 


Formula: Yes! *they both jump in the air but as they landed on their rump, they accidentally break a hole on the floor with their rump* 


Both: Hehehehe sorry 


Zuma: A fair bit of power behind that as well... 


Yumi: We'll get the floor fixed, but I think you two should practice your skills a bit more, and I know how to do it. 


Formula: Huh? How? 


Yumi: Well first, deflate your rumps you two, and follow me *The two looked at each other, deflating back down and adjusting on the floor before following Sensei Yumi while the others began patching up the floor.* 


Formula: What did you need to show us though? 


Balloona X: Yea, I hope it's not something bad... 


Yumi: Not at all, but it's something that might be interesting for you two. 


Both: What is it? *She eventually brought the two over to a wall with a poster on it.* 


Formula: What's that? 


Yumi: This is a tournament for the upcoming mixed-martial arts tournament. Classic and new styles compete in a friendly competition to take home a special honor. 


Balloona X: Really? 


Yumi: Yep, and this tournament is a tag team, acquiting two players per team in this tournament 


Formula: Well, that's interesting for sure. 


Balloona X: Yea, very interesting... 


Yumi: I think you two should enter it. 


Both: What!? 


Yumi: You two have a special and brand new martial art form. You really should enter, but to do it, you'll need to look professional. 


Balloona X: What do you mean? 


Yumi: What do you think I mean? 


Formula: Outfits? 


Yumi: Yep, just give me one moment *She went to a side door, stepping into another room before closing the door, leaving the two pups alone for a bit.* 


Balloona X: This is going to be awesome! We're Blimpup-Fu fighters! 


Formula: Uh, yeah... kind of cool. 


Balloona X: You're worried about showing it to that competition, huh? 


Formula: It's just embarrassing to me... any new person has that chance to laugh or something. 


Balloona X: Formula, if they see me doing the Blimpup-Fu too, they might laugh at me too as well, but I can handle it. If I can handle being laughed at, then so can you! 


Formula: I don't know... Drift may just have to take over for me honestly... he's got the edge when it comes to sports and competitions like this compared to me. 


Balloona X: Come on Formula. Drift might be the wild side in you, but sometimes... you need to find your own wild without Drift's help 


Formula: I... I don't know. 


Balloona X: Hmm... alright then. I'm going to have a special addition added to you later on for situations like this? 


Formula: What? 


Balloona X: Nothing, just wait... He gulped a bit in worry hearing that. 


*Yumi came back out from the side room with two wrapped boxes.* 


Yumi: Now, I want you to open these back at the Lookout, alright? 


Formula: Yes Mrs. Yumi. 


Yumi: And tell your team of the news, understand? 


Balloona X: We will, thank you Mrs. Yumi 


Yumi: No problem. Good luck you two. 


*The two nodded, meeting back up with the group before getting back in their vehicles and heading off, with Formula riding with Balloona X again. Back at the Lookout, the two pups set up the boxes with the others around.* 


Balloona X: Everyone, we got an announcement to make here 


Ryder: What's up you two? 


Formula: We were told by Sensei Yumi that we should enter the mixed-martial arts tournament with our new art we have. 


Chase: Be interesting, but you should be careful with Humdinger. 


Both: Humdinger? 


Zuma: Oh yeah, you dudes haven't fully met him, but Balloona X should remember the tale we told. 


Balloona X: Oh, that was his plan that time? 


Formula: But I need to know about this "Humdinger" figure 


Ryder: He's the mayor of the town of Foggy Bottom, usually out to try to make his town look a bit better in some ways, constantly challenge Mayor Goodway at points, and in those, it's challenges he tries to cheat in. 


Formula: Crikey... cheaters never prosper. 


Chase: We've stopped him a few times ourselves, but no doubt he'll enter the competitions with his kittens. 


Formula: Kittens? 


Rocky: He has six kittens based off the six of us, little outfits, tools and everything. It's his Cat-astrophe Crew. 


Formula: He went out of his way for that? Gee whiz... 


Balloona X: Luckily for us, there's no copycat versions of us, Formula 


Formula: Well, obviously... where can he find two cats that can do this? *He expanded his belly out a bit before deflating it.* 


Marshall: He does have a point there... 


Balloona X: Anyway, this is a tag team tournament. With us two having a new version of Pup-Fu known as Blimpup-Fu, we could handle the friendly competition 


Chase: If you guys insist. We'll tag along in case, but just be careful, cause no doubt Humdinger will be there to try to cheat to win. 


Formula: Alright then 


Ryder: Open up the boxes you two, let's see how you guys would look as these Blimpup-Fu fighters. 


Balloona X and Formula: Right! 


*Balloona X's outfit was very similar to her regular vest, having the the green on the right side with the blue on the left, while Formula's was similar to hers, but with the silver and gold colorings on the respective sides.* 


Formula: Well... they're snazzy at least. 


Balloona X: You seen the headbands yet? 


Formula: Not yet 


Balloona X: Look at these... *She pulled hers out, showing a style similar to the others, but the pawprints on them looked like balloons tied together.* 


Formula: Well... this is official then. 


Balloona X: Let hope these outfits can handle our expansion ability 


Rubble: Maybe do a test first with them, and if they can't, you have a suit designer right there. 


Balloona X: Not it! *Formula sighed a bit at that.* 


Formula: Dang it... 


Balloona X: Got to be quick 


Formula: Noted... *A quick scene transition with his paw tag had him outside in his new outfit and Balloona X next to him, having her pup pack on just in case.* Alright, I have it on... we doing the size checks to test durability? 


Balloona X: Yep... 


Formula: You have a list, right? 


Balloona X: Of course, and if you get a bit too reluctant... I have my air and water hoses ready. 


Formula: I get the message... first size? 


Balloona X: Be me sized first, hehe... *He nodded, swelling up to be her size with no problems.* Good, so it'll fit me fine. 


Formula: What next? 


Balloona X: Hmm... let's go... ooh, airbag size or the size of our trucks? *Her tail wagged, obviously looking forward to this testing.* 


Formula: Uh... whichever's smaller? *He laughed nervously as she looked at him, ready to bark before he gulped, swelling up to the size of the trucks.* 


Balloona X: There we go... that wasn't so hard. *She nuzzled her head against him.* Now... how about reaching the size you did back on your first resting here? 


Formula: Seriously? 


Balloona X: Please *she starts doing the puppy eyes on him again* 


Formula: Aww... *His heart melted at her cute face as he swelled up again, reaching the desired size.* 


Balloona X: Alright, holding strong and we still have two more. The size from our over-inhaling exercise. You're doing good, Formy, succeed with this and I'll owe you for it. 


Formula: You promise? 


Balloona X: Of course, anything you want to relax with. 


Formula: Hmm... *He thought of something, blushing a bit before nodding and swelling again, reaching that size and beginning to go past it.* 


Balloona X: W-Whoa Formy. I-I didn't tell you what size was left... *She looked a bit worried at him as she stepped back a bit.* Not again... Formula! You can stop now! Please Formy, please! *No matter what she said, seemed he was tuned out again. She sighed* Here we go again *she jump on Formula's body and started to climb up as she can. She eventually reached his slightly sunken head, placing her paw over his mouth.* Phew... too close. You zoned again... 


Formula: Oops... 


Balloona X: I'm going to figure out a cue for you to know when to stop, but thankfully, stopped you before you got too big... *She stood up, seeing he was just as tall as the Lookout.* Well... bigger, that is. You keep this up, Jake's Mountain will have competition with Mount Formy. 


Formula: Hehehehe good one 


Balloona X: And I can't believe your outfit is still in one piece 


Formula: Huh... at least we know at this size, they'll survive. 


Balloona X: Thanks to one willing Blimpup... *She licked his cheek three times.* One's for doing this for me, the second's for doing the test way above, and the third... you're so cute like this. 


Formula: *he blushes* Hehehe I guess you are right about me having my own wild side 


Balloona X: You got to learn to have fun being a balloon. Whenever you're stressed, I'll help you out with a relaxing bit, but again... try it yourself. Now, let's get you back down to size before someone thinks you're the balloon for the event. 


Formula: Fair enough, but remember this... After the tournament, I like to use my favor for something with you 


Balloona X: I know, I know *He deflated back down to his normal size, being pinned under his teammate for a bit.* Still got you pinned though... *she get off of him* 


Formula: Thank you. Now... let's get to the tournament. 


Balloona X: Yep, and since the team's coming with, only one way to go... 


*The PAW Patroller came down from around the back, opening the door for the two.* 


Balloona X: Ready for a tournament? 


Formula: Yep. 


Balloona X: Sweet. Time for me to bounce into action! 


Formula: And... Time to go with the skill 


Balloona X: We'll work on that later. *The two got inside and buckled up as the team left the town. After a bit of driving, they reached a sports center for the tournament, all of the pups in their martial art garbs.* 


Formula: Man, this is going to be interesting. *He twitched, tag changing to the flag.* 


Drift: Huh... this the place for that contest? 


Balloona X: Yes but Drift, please switch back! I'm trying to help Formula to get used to his Blimpup-Fu and Expansion ability even if there are other people here 


Drift: C'mon Loony, I'm made for competing. This body is made for it. *He spun around on his hind paws a bit.* Let me get you passed the first round at least, then I'll let him take control on the others. 


Balloona X: *she softly sighed* Fine, but only one round 


Drift: Sweet! *He chuckled a bit, ready for this while the rest of the team looked on.* 


Rubble: I think Drift may blow his chance here honestly... 


Chase: Just wait till Balloona X hears the rules. Whoever signs up with her has to stay in the bracket unless something happens. Only one sub is allowed for the whole thing. 


Rubble: But that means Formula won't be able to deal with his problems 


Rocky: Uh oh... someone should tell her to do the force switch, now. 


Chase: I'll go! I'm faster than them 


Zuma: Go to it dude. 


*The shepherd ran up to the two, pulling Balloona X aside for a bit while Drift kept walking.* 


Balloona X: What's up? 


Chase: You have to force that reset, now. 


Balloona X: Why? 


Chase: When your name's locked in, you're only allowed one sub to switch out. If Drift is in for the main thing, Formula won't get his chance to gain confidence. 


Balloona X: What!? So that's why he wants to do the first round, no turning back once you started 


Chase: That and I think that he's confident that he can help you win as Blimpup-Fu fighters. He's got confidence to spare with his tricks, but with that inflated ego, I think you better let the air out of that balloon before it bursts. 


Balloona X: And the only way to do that, is to use his trigger... 


Chase: He has three options though, so... he may not get balloony this early. Better do it though! 


Balloona X: Right.... 


*Chase went back as Drift chuckled to himself, looking for the spot to sign up.* 


Drift: Now... where is the sign-in table? 


Balloona X: Hey Drift, I know where the sign-in table is 


Drift: Sweet, where is it? 


Balloona X: Over there in that hallway 


Drift: Awesome! *He ran over to the hallway she tilted her head towards, seeing it be empty.* Huh? This a joke or something? I don't like being lied to... *As he turn around, Balloona X is right behind him* 


Balloona X: Sorry Drift, but I need Formula for the whole tournament *she lick his neck as he blushes* 


Drift: W-What? But he's not as skilled or confident as me! I can help you breeze through the tournament! 


Balloona X: Sorry, but I need Formula to gain his confidence *she lick his nose twice* 


*His eyes twitched as he spun around like a black tornado before slowing down, his eyes spinning a bit with a wobble in his step.* 


Formula: Ohhh, crikey... now I know how Tasmanian devils feel... 


Balloona X: No time for rest, we need to get you signed up before Drift tries to swap again. He's trying to be in the tournament so you can't get your confidence 


Formula: Don't we have a sub we can use? 


Balloona X: Yes, but if he puts you there, you might not get a chance if he's in control. 


Formula: Ok, fair enough 


Balloona X: Come on, let's go 


*The two made it to the table to sign up, filling out their names and their substitute, but had to think of a name.* 


Formula: What name could we go with? 


Balloona X: Let's go with the Blimpup-Fu Duo. 


Formula: Huh clever and a way to show off our skills 


Balloona X: And to make yoooou... feel comfy with it. 


Formula: Makes sense. *He could already hear a few teams laughing a bit about the name for them.* Oh great, here we go... 


???: Blimpup-Fu Duo? That's got to be one of the weirdest names ever. Sounds like they'll go out in the first round, easily... 


Balloona X: Who said that? 


*Formula look over his shoulder, seeing a blonde handlebar mustached mayor clad in a purple suit and top hat with a cat purple cat carrier next to him.* 


Formula: I'd bet my treats for the week that's Humdinger. 


Balloona X: Regular or the special treats? 


Formula: Not sure... Because look behind you 


Balloona X: Huh? *She turned to look as well.* Oh, that's him 


Formula: Yep... 


Humdinger: Well, looks like it's time to sign you kittens up. Who's up for it this year? 


Balloona X: So you're Humdinger, aka Mr. Cheater Mayor? 


Humdinger: I am not a cheater, name one time I've cheated... also, did you accidentally swallow a yoga ball or something? I've never seen a collie be this big. 


Balloona X: Mrs. Yumi told us about you during our training! 


Humdinger: Of course... some Pup-Fu pups... I'll have you know that my kittens are trained in the art of Cat-Jitsu, which is still far superior! 


Formula: Coming from the guy that looks like an off-brand Mr. Monopoly. 


Balloona X: Hehehehe 


Humdinger: Hey! 


Formula: It's true. He pulled up a holographic picture from his paw, setting it next to him. 


Balloona X: I kind of see the resemblance actually... 


Humdinger: Why you... *He swats at the picture, going throw it and falling over due to it being a hologram before getting back up, straightening him mustache and top hat.* You two will wish you stayed back at Adventure Bay! 


Formula: Naaah... I'm sure you'll have regretted leaving Foggy Bottom after this. 


Balloona X: Because for us, we have a special advanced version of Pup-Fu that you and your kittens don't know about! 


Humdinger: I thought that was a typo, but oh well. May the best team win, which we plan to. *He laughed while controlling his carrier away.* 


Balloona X: Never heard you speak like that before Formy, what changed? 


Formula: Two forced transitions in one day sometimes have some... effects. Like... both personalities are merged for a bit and both traits shine in their moments. 


Balloona X: Well we better get ready before we enter in the stage 


Formula: Agreed. *They both met back up with the team.* 


Ryder: It go well? 


Formula: Met Humdinger, and it went... ok. 


Chase: I see you're back in control, can you stay that way? 


Formula: I hope... Just as long as Drift doesn't get in my way 


Balloona X: Don't worry. If he pops out again, I'll lick him away 


Formula: Is it really a healthy thing though to keep forcing my personality away like that all day? It's probably not healthy... 


Balloona X: *sigh* We get one sub, and if you're not feeling well, tell me right away and I'll let him takeover, ok? 


Formula: Ok then 


Balloona X: Alright... 


Ryder: The roster will be up soon, so be ready. 


Both: Yes Ryder, Sir! 


*The two waited a bit till the board popped up. The sixteen teams were shown and the order of their fights.* 


Formula: Shame we won't be fighting Humdinger first, he's on the other side of the bracket. 


Balloona X: Only way is in the final round... Ready to gain your confidence with your ability and skill? 


Formula: I guess... 


Balloona X: Come on, you promised 


Formula: With how they laughed a bit earlier, I just have a bad feeling in my stomach. 


Balloona X: Just ignore their laughter, and let your own wild side of your Expansion ability out without Drift 


Formula: I don't know if that's possible though... 


Balloona X: The sooner I get that device set, the better... 


Formula: Pardon? 


Balloona X: Nothing. Let's get ready now, Formula 


Formula: Alright... *He looked over the bracket, finding them.* Well, found out who we're up against first. 


Balloona X: Who? 


Formula: Two blokes from across the pond. Some place called... Barkingburg or something. 


Balloona X: Blokes? Is that like the Aussie version for sheilas? 


Formula: Sheila means girl, bloke means boy, so yes. 


Balloona X: Got it... so it's the Barkingburg Brigade then? 


Formula: Yep 


Balloona X: Got it. Let's roll! 


Formula: Agreed. *The two went over to the door to the arena, seeing a few of the other teams watching to see what they were up against.* O-Oh... there's a... lot more than I expected... *He whined a bit in worry as his tail dipped down.* 


Balloona X: Come on Formula, stay strong here 


Formula: There's... a lot though. 


Balloona X: I know, just try to stay strong, ok? 


Formula: I'll try to... He looked ahead, seeing the announcer. 


Announcer: Let's get ready to rumble! Welcome to the Tag Team Mixed-Martial Arts Tournament! *The crowd simply cheered a bit, ready for this.* From across the sea, here to ring you like Big Ben's bell, the Barkingburg Brigade! *The two Brits came out from the other side, having their flag styled outfits on.* From Adventure Bay, they may seem small, but this fight won't be going swell... for the opponents. The... *He paused and stifled a laugh.* Blimpup-Fu Duo. 


Balloona X: Formula, jump on me and roll me *she got down on the ground* 


Formula: Uh... why? 


Balloona X: Trust me. 


Formula: Ok then *he jump on her back. He began walking slowly, rolling her sideways while the crowd simply just laughed a bit, his face already looking embarrassed.* 


Balloona X: Remember... it's a tournament for fun, let's give them a show. 


Formula: We're not circus performers though... 


Balloona X: I know but still, trust me this time *He sighed, flipping off of her and landing in the ring. Then she jump then bounce in the air and landing in the ring next to Formula* 


Announcer: Alright you four, one person is in the ring to fight per team, you can tag as many times as you want for a three minute battle. If there's no clear winner by that time, the judges take over. Agree on that? 


All 4: Yes! 


Announcer: Good. Good luck you four. *He stepped out of the ring.* 


???: I'll let you go first, Jarrod. 


Jarrod: Pleasure to do so, Jarred. 


Balloona X: I'll go first, I'll tag you once they switch places 


Formula: Sure thing. *He stepped out of the ring with Jarred, waiting outside patiently.* 


Balloona X: Let's see if you can handle our skills 


Jarrod: Likewise to ours, darling. 


Announcer: Let the battle... begin! 


*With a ring of the bell, Jarrod leapt at Balloona X, but when he made contact with her belly, he was bounced out of the ring right away.* 


Balloona X: I've got a tummy like no other! 


Jarred: Jarrod, switch places! 


*The dazed dog tagged his partner in by tapping his paw.* 


Jarred: Alright, my turn! 


Balloona X: Ready for your chance *she put her paw out for Formula to tag in* 


Formula: Wait what, already? 


Balloona X: Formula, I said I'd tag you in when they switch places 


Formula: The match legit just started though... *He tagged her paw, getting in as she bounced out.* 


Jarred: Least I won't go flying out like last time. 


Balloona X: *Whisper* Formula... *he look to see Balloona X as she trying to do the inhaling signal. He turned back, seeing Jarred jump at him only to move out of the way and he fell out on the other side.* 


Announcer: Well... that was unexpected from those two. By the way the rules go, if a tagged opponent gets ejected from the arena against their own will, they're deemed out. So... the Blimpup-Fu Duo move on. 


Formula: Yes *He walk up to Balloona X as he see her down abit* 


Balloona X: Formula, I gave you the signal to inhale and inflate to bounce his attack away, why didn't you? 


Formula: He was a bit too close for me to do it quickly. It was best if I just dodged and let his momentum carry him out. *He slipped out of the ring, helping the two Brits up.* Good round, despite the length. 


Jarrod: It was, but shame we never got to fully see that art from you two. 


Balloona X: Maybe you will, when our next round is up 


Jarred: We'll stick around for that. Good luck you two. *They all left to head back, Balloona X still looking at Formula a bit.* 


Balloona X: Formy... I know you find it embarrassing, but if we don't get your confidence boosted now, you're just going to be in the shadows. Promise me right now that you'll use your Blimpup-Fu skills in the ring, ok? 


Formula: I do, I promise. 


Balloona X: I mean it Formula, and to make sure... 


Formula: Make sure what? *He had a red sticker put onto his cheek.* 


Balloona X: This is my ultra, impossible to break promise sticker. Break this and I'll be one really, really, really upset puppy... and you wouldn't want that, would you? *She gently pressed her side against him, looking at him with that face.* 


Formula: Crikey... not the ultra face... ok, I'll try my best 


Balloona X: Yay! *She bounced a it in delight, ending up on top of him.* Thank you Formy! 


Formula: Hehehe... no problem, I think *A few of the other teams looked, laughing a bit at them.* 


Balloona X: Just do a minor tummy puff, for me please? Not even that big, just to be... me sized. 


Formula: Okay okay... 


Balloona X: Thanks... *She gently licked his cheek. After this, she could feel him swell up, but before he could get too big again, she licked his forehead, snapping him out.* There you go. You're just like me, big and cute, hehehe. 


Formula: Hehehe thanks *She rolled off him, bumping her body against his before being bumped back.* 


Balloona X: There we go, having fun. Now, let's relax and find out who we'll face in the quarters. 


Formula: You got it 


*The two met back up with the team, looking a bit shocked.* 


Marshall: Formula, you're... 


Formula: Big, yeah... 


Rocky: Why? *He noticed the sticker on his face.* Ohh... 


Formula: Wait, you know this? 


Skye: She's used it on a few of us at points, yeah. 


Formula: Huh, ok... *The team watched a match with the Marshall and Chase looking kittens as they seemed to win almost easily.* Hold on... 


Balloona X: What's wrong? 


*The labrahuahua paused the video, went back and enhanced on a section of the floor.* 


Formula: There's a bit of soapy water there... 


Balloona X: They are cheating already! 


Zuma: Those dudes are always bad news... 


Balloona X: We got to show this to everyone! 


Chase: We'll handle it, you two just focus on the tournament. 


Balloona X: You sure? 


Chase: Yes. *He popped the disc out of the player.* 


Announcer: Blimpup-Fu Duo! Your second match is ready! 


Formula: Who's our opponent this time? 


Balloona X: No idea, but hopefully you are ready this time to use your Blimpup-Fu skill in action 


Formula: We'll see... *They went to the board, checking their opponent.* 


Balloona X: Looks like it's the... Slip n' Grip. Weird name. 


Formula: Then let's do this! 


Balloona X: With you being "fun-sized" though, we need a new intro. 


Formula: Like what though? 


Balloona X: Just follow my lead 


Formula: Alright... *They arrived back to the hall, seeing the announcer in the ring.* 


Announcer: This jungly duo takes the rumble in the jungle to a whole new level. Prepare for the next phase, the Slip n' Grip! *A monkey and snake came out from that hall, standing next to the ring.* The twin balloon bruisers with guts of iron, the Blimpup-Fu Duo! *The two bounced in with an acrobatic style, with Balloona X bouncing on top of his back before both bounced into the ring.* 


Balloona X: A monkey and a snake duo? 


Formula: I'll deal with the snake, you do the monkey, depending which one goes first 


Balloona X: Alright, be careful though. 


Announcer: Who will go first for both sides? *The snake stayed in the ring, while the monkey went out.* 


Formula: Oh boy... I'm first then. 


Balloona X: Good luck, and remember my promise *she left the ring* 


*He sighed, and as the fight got under way, the snake slithered up and put him in a coil, squeezing the air out of him already.* 


Formula: Hey! 


Balloona X: Formula, reinflate yourself back up! *He tried, but the snake kept a tight grip on him, preventing him from doing it easily.* 


Formula: C-Can't... grip's a bit tight here. *then he bite on the snake's body. The grip of her loosened as he slipped out and down. He trying to get up as he was gasping for air* Sorry Balloona X, but this round... I'll have to break my promise... 


Balloona X: Oh no... 


Formula: I'm not done with you, snake *he get up. The snake slithered a bit, looking at him.* 


*He grabbed her tail, proceeding to spin her around at a high speed before throwing her out towards her partner. Formula simply wheezed a bit, tagging Balloona X in to go.* 


Formula: Give me... a few... 


Balloona X: *she looked at him, sighed* You break your promise to me... 


Formula: I-I'm sorry... what could... I do though? He coughed a bit again. *she sighs as she enter the ring. His ears dropped down as he felt a bit let down now as the monkey tagged in.* I feel awful now... 


Balloona X: Ok monkey, let see what you got! *The monkey proved very agile for her, constantly moving and swinging around to avoid Balloona X. The monkey simply laughed at the collie's failed attempts while the lab outside simply just couldn't watch.* You think you are fast, huh? Well why not mess with someone your own size! *She inhaled, swelling up as the monkey looked a bit worried at the growing collie. Balloona X rocked onto her backside a bit, doing a crane stance to the best of her ability with her sunken limbs before bouncing the monkey clean out with her belly.* Knock the air out of Formy, and I'll knock you out of the ring! 


Announcer: Incredible move there! The Blimpup-Fu Duo goes to the next round! 


Balloona X: Sweet! *She deflated and hopped out of the ring, but found her teammate wasn't there anymore.* Formula? Where'd you run off to? *She looked around, trying to find him.* Formy? Where are you? You know you can't hide from me... *She went back to the team.* Hey guys... Formy back? 


Marshall: No, why? 


Balloona X: He wasn't feeling right after that snake put a squeeze on him, so I figured he'd be back here first to get checked on. I'm just worried about him 


Chase: Well... he hasn't been back here yet, but we should give him a quick lookover before the semis take place. 


Humdinger: Someone missing their partner? Seems you may have to drop out soon... *they can see Humdinger and his kittens walk to them* 


Balloona X: I'm not dropping out, not even without my partner! 


Humdinger: Oh please, don't make me laugh. My three kitten duo teams managed to make it to the semifinals, and there's no way you can beat any of my teams two different times! Hehehe! 


Chase: Actually, I was hoping your three teams made it to the semifinals... 


Humdinger: Why exactly? *The PA system started up.* 


Announcer: Attention Mayor Humdinger, two of your teams have been disqualified due to placing soapy water on the floor in the first round! Therefore, the Blimpup-Fu Duo will advance automatically, but you'll have to choose which other to drop to compete... that is all. *The system turned off as Humdinger growled a bit before sighing.* 


Humdinger: Fine. You two will face off against my cop and firefighter unit, give me a minute. Come along kittens! *He left with his kittens to sort the mess out.* 


Balloona X: Phew... close call, but I need Formy back here and fast! 


Ryder: All pups, spread out 


All 7: On it! *Each of them spread out to search, while Balloona X thought it over.* 


Balloona X: I don't think he's in the center at all... I wonder... *She walked back outside, looking at the Patroller before going back inside and sniffing the air a bit.* Huh, is that... *She went over to a pile of pillows, peering in and seeing those eyes of his.* Formy! There you are! *She pulled the pillows off, revealing his upset face.* Formy... what's wrong? 


Formula: I just... I feel awful about the last round. 


Balloona X: What, why? 


Formula: I could just feel the energy from you. I really did want to, but I just... I had trouble breathing. I broke your promise... *His ears dropped down as he whimpered softly.* 


Balloona X: It's ok. You just need time to learn to control your abilities like I did abit 


Formula: I'm not upset about that... I broke, no... shattered your promise. I just don't think I'll do it right... 


Balloona X: Formy... *She gently squeezed into the pillow pile with him, resting her head against his.* I just did this to make you feel more confident with your expansion abilities. I'm not going to force you to use them this round if you don't want. 


Formula: No... I made a promise to, but if I can barely breathe in like the last fight, what am I going to do? 


Balloona X: Well me and Ryder did have something that can help both you and me on our ability... 


Formula: Maybe after, alright? *He got out, inhaling a bit before sighing.* Better, but not fully there... 


Balloona X: Aren't you curious? 


Formula: A bit, what is it? *She pulled his ear close as another transition brought them back to the ring.* So am I going first again? 


Balloona X: I'll go first, you still need some rest. 


Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the tournament final! 


Formula: Final? How though? 


Balloona X: Humdinger had three teams entered, but after his cheating earlier and rule reading a bit, two dropped out, so we got a free round here. 


Formula: Cheaters never prosper... 


Balloona X: Yep, get ready for our intro soon... 


Formula: What's it going to be this time? 


Announcer: The dasterdly kittens from Foggy Bottom, Catastrophes P&F! *The Marshall and Chase looking kittens walked out, the crowd not exactly thrilled to see them. Both kittens hissed at the crowd as they entered the ring* Someone's very clearly not the crowd favorite here now... The big pups from Adventure Bay, the Blimpup-Fu Duo! 


Balloona X: There's our cue. 


*The main six pups came in from behind them.* 


Chase: I think we can help out with your entrance. 


Formula: How exactly? 


Chase: Just follow our lead, you two 


Balloona X: Alright... *While they waited, the announcer looked on.* 


Announcer: Well folks, we seem to have a slight... problem maybe. Hopefully they show up shortly, or they'll forfeit the fight. *Then he could see something.* Wait a minute... is that... 


*The six main pups had formed a pyramid with Formula on top on his back paws, holding an inflated Balloona X over his head.* 


All 8: A pup-yramid? Yes, yes it is! 


Formula: Here we go! *he toss Balloona X like a big beachball* 


Balloona X: Whee! *She landed with a bounce as Formula leapt off, bouncing on her belly like a trampoline as she rolled to keep him bouncing.* 


Announcer: Win or lose, I'm sure we have found the obvious crowd favorites of this tournament! *the crowd is cheering for both of them* Though... we haven't seen Formula here show us what he could do. What do you say folks, shall we see what he could do? *The audience seemed to cheer for it, causing Formula to blush a deep red.* 


Balloona X: See Formy, they want to see you use your art! 


Formula: You're right! *he do one more bounce off of her and landed on the ring as Balloona X bounce on the ring* 


Balloona X: I'll still go first though if you want to get just a bit more resting after that squeezing. 


Formula: I'll let you know if I'm ready *he step off the ring. The Marshall-like cat stepped out, leaving the two alone as the match was ready to start.* 


Balloona X: Got it. *She look at the Chase-like cat* Come and get me, Furball! *The kitten hissed, leaping at her, but it had a very obvious size disadvantage to a normal pup. To Balloona X, an even bigger disadvantage.* Hehehe looks like I'm too big for you *It hissed again, batting at her belly with a paw.* Hehehehe that tickles but alittle hurt... *she inhale some air causing her belly to inflate and pin the kitten* 


Formula: Hmm... seems we have this in the bag... *As Balloona X deflate herself, the kitten is completely knocked out* 


Balloona X: Oh yeah, one down, one to go. 


Formula: Wait, Balloona X... 


Balloona X: Yeah? 


Formula: Tag me in 


Balloona X: Are you sure? 


Formula: Yeah... I think I'm ready. *Balloona X smiled as she tagged him in and both of them switch* 


Balloona X: Good luck 


Formula: Thanks. *When he turned back around, the Marshall-like cat had latched onto his face.* Get off of me! 


Balloona X: Uh oh... Formula, you got to do it now! 


Formula: I'm trying to Ba- *The kitten giggled mischievously, keeping his mouth closed.* 


Balloona X: Man... these kittens play dirty... 


Formula: *mumbling* Why you! *He bit the cat a bit, causing it to jump off while leaving a minor scratch under his eye.* 


Balloona X: Formy, you ok? 


Formula: In a way, yeah... 


Balloona X: Now go beat that kitten and win it for us! 


Formula: You said it. *He sighed a bit, looking at the crowd a bit as the kitten was on the ground.* Anyone know what time it is? 


Balloona X: I'd honestly say it's... Formula Bottom time! 


Formula: That's right, Balloona X! *She said it three more times, with the crowd starting to as well.* 


Crowd: Formula Bottom time! Formula Bottom time! Formula Bottom time!... *He blushed a bit, inhaling and inflating to be a big balloon for the crowd.* 


Formula: Part on done... no for the "bottom" part of this. 


Balloona X: Show it to them Formy! *She whistled at him as his figure changed to a more big hip sized form.* 


Formula: Here goes nothing! 


*He leapt up a bit, pinning the kitten under his massive rear when he landed back down.* 


Skye: Wow... don't want to be in his way when it's FB time... 


All 5: Yep *then Formula get up and see the kitten is knocked out as well* 


Formula: Seems my powers aren't the "butt" of the joke, huh folks? *the crowd started to cheer and laugh at the same time. He blushed, looking over at Balloona X, winking at her.* 


Announcer: And the winner of the tournament is... The Blimpup-Fu Duo! *Balloona X joined her teammate as he deflated most of the air out of him, but kept a bit of his rear.* 


Balloona X: I knew you'd get your confidence! 


Formula: No thanks to you. *He peeled the sticker off his cheek, placing it on her nose.* And I fulfilled your promise. 


Balloona X: Still thinking using your expansion power is still embarrassing? 


Formula: Still a bit, but with you... *He bumped his rear against her side.* I've got all the confidence I need. 


Announcer: Well, congrats you two on winning this and putting those bad cats to an end. 


Balloona X: For now... but we'll return to keep the crowd entertained and make sure no cheaters are around. 


Announcer: We look forward to see it. And before I forget, here is your prize *he pull out what look like two grayish-white belt* Your Blimpup-Fu Master Platinum Belt as a sign of loyalty to the game 


Formula: Sweet. 


Balloona X: I don't think it'll fit around your big rump though, Formula Bottom. 


Formula: Well just you wait until we get back home for my favor 


Balloona X: Oh you... *The two shared a nose nuzzle as another transition brought them back to the Lookout, resting together on one of the beanbags while watching an update on a news channel.* 


Reporter: Well, seems as though a little edition got added to the martial arts world... and by little, I mean big as the Blimpup-Fu Masters of Balloona X and Formula seem to be gaining a lot of attention to many fans worldwide. 


Balloona X: Well look at that Formy... worldwide. A lot more will know now... *She giggled, looking at his beet red face.* 


Formula: Heh, yeah... no use hiding it forever anymore. 


Balloona X: Btw what about that favor you said you were gonna do? 


Formula: Hmm... you know how you call me Formula Bottom? *He snickered, rubbing his head against hers.* 


Balloona X: Hehehe, of course! *they get off of the beanbag, lay down on the ground together and started to inhale air causing both of them to inflate to big balloon pup size* 


Formula: You ready, Ballooty X? 


Balloona X: Ready, Formula Bottom! 


Formula: Three... 


Balloona X: Two... 


Both: One... go! *They both changed to the big reared forms, sharing a laugh with a bump every so often.* 


Balloona X: This a payback for your name earlier? 


Formula: A bit, yeah... 


Both: Hehehe *the other members can see them from the second floor as they giggled* 


Skye: Aaawww how cute for both of them 


Chase: Yea, in their weird way 


Skye: It's weird, but it sure looks like fun, don't you think? 


Chase: Uh... I'm going to check to see if Ryder needs me! *He blushed a bit, getting in the elevator and going to the third floor while Skye simply giggled.* 


Skye: Boys... *She walked to her room, closing the door while Marshall remained a bit away.* 


Rubble: Hey Marshall, where you off to? 


Marshall: Oh, uh... just want to rest for a bit. 


Zuma: Suit yourself dude. 


*Marshall closed the door, sighing quietly while looking at a picture of when he and Everest took a tumble in a snowball together, with him having a mound of snow on his head shaped like Chase's ears and where she had a mound shaped like Skye's.* 


Marshall: I just feel Chase isn't the only one with a small crush, but just... best I keep it under wraps. *He sighed with a soft blush as the other three kept looking down from above at the two.* 


Rocky: I do hope those two don't change at all. 


Rubble: They constantly change their sizes though. 


Zuma: Yeah dude, but let's hope that spark they have doesn't get sat on by the two. 


Rocky: Don't think it'll be ending well if it did. *The three boys shared a laugh while the inflatable dogs shared another nose nuzzle, the angle shown from them showed their pear-shaped bodies forming a heart with each being a half of it.* 


The End
